Faro Capo Spartivento
Faro di Capo Spartivento, established in 1866, is among the oldest lighthouses in Sardinia still in operation. Located on the namesake promontory in southwestern Sardinia, it marks the eastern boundary of the Gulf of Teulada and the western edge of the Gulf of Cagliari. In 2006, the lighthouse underwent extensive renovations, transforming the keeper’s residence into a luxury 5-star hotel.
